Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) shark steaks
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
Place the shark steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shark steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse. Turn the steaks halfway through marinating for even flavor distribution.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the shark steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during cooking.
Grill the shark steaks for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the steaks occasionally with the reserved marinade during cooking for added flavor, but stop basting in the final 2 minutes to ensure the marinade cooks thoroughly.
Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish the grilled shark steaks with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your marinated shark steaks with your favorite side dishes!
